This week’s guest is Paige Friend, creator of The Beach Speaks podcast and former corporate aviation industry professional.

Paige grew up in the mountains of Pennsylvania but always loved the beach. After an experience at a retreat in Italy with her favourite podcaster, returned from Italy and quit her job. It was time. We talk about releasing the attachment around what things are supposed to look like. As the story goes, Paige decided one day that she was going meet her soulmate, quit her 9 to 5 and move to the beach. Before life on the beach, Paige spent her career in corporate aviation.

At first, she wanted to be a pilot and got her pilot’s license when working for a small airport in Oklahoma. From there she ended up working in customer service in general aviation for 20 years.

Paige demonstrates going with her instincts about what she wants to do and then goes for it without having to know exactly how that thing will manifest.

Her podcast, “The Beach Speaks”, is a podcast for conscious people who love the beach and were inspired to create it after her morning practice of sitting on the beach. She has a voice that is perfect for this too.

Paige is also a certified yoga teacher. It is as much a spiritual as physical experience for her. She talks about how everyone can do yoga. It is just for those that can bend into pretzel shapes!

Her advice at the end on how to start to get to the thing you want to do is practical and you won’t want to miss it. And, her most inspirational person in the Fun Five was truly one of the most heartwarming so far.

Note from Rabiah (Host): Paige is peace. She really is. She is also someone I could have talked to for longer. Our conversation was easy and I was constantly getting shots of information throughout. She has followed her instincts and made changes to her life but in a way that is more positive than I have at times. It struck me she quit her job without resentment for example. She trusts herself. It was empowering to realise that maybe I could do this too. I hope that’s what you get out of it. For example, we talk about her mindfulness practice and the way she puts it, it is really something anyone can do.

We also went off on a taxidermy tangent for a minute which makes me laugh even as I write these notes!

"Ask big questions," with guest Molly Mandelberg, founder of "Wild Hearts Rise Up"

1 Recommendations

This week’s guest is Molly Mandelberg, founder of "Wild Hearts Rise Up" and the creator of Magnetic Influencer Collective. She is also an Artist having been an art major in school.

Her business is Wild Hearts Rise Up, is home to her podcast and her six month group program, Magnet Influencer Collective. She works to help people build courses and programs they can scale to go from a one-to-one to one-to-many business model.

Her work is built around energy (energetic marketing) and strategy. She works with clients on overcoming limiting beliefs and changing their lives, in turn changing their businesses too. They learn marketing tools and automation in addition to addressing personal obstacles.

As part of her upbringing, Molly learned a lot about the laws of attraction and consciousness. She also spent her 20s traveling to over 30 countries and working in non-career jobs while finding herself. After her healing experiences at a five day workshop with Dr. Brian Weiss, past life regression therapist, she decided to pursue hypnotherapy and became certified.

In starting her new practice, she became an entrepreneur. She also had to face all of her feelings of shortcomings and in that process transformed herself. She also found that she needed to do more than the one-on-one work that she was doing. Molly learned the technology, tools and marketing and found that she could help other healers and coaches so she started the career she is in now.

We chat about all of this including why she called her business “Wild Hearts Rise Up” and who she loves to work with. We also talk about another concept she is passionate about, the energy of peace with money, and how she incorporated practices around that into a program. Find out who she got inspiration for when she was transforming her own thoughts around money! She shared her views on taking personal responsibility and how powerful that is.

Molly still creates art. After 13 years as a nomad, she decided on pursuing van life four years ago. He biggest project has been the tiny house she built in a van which she lives in primarily taking herself to the multiple locations where she wants to live. She also paints, creates posters and does tie dye which she is selling on Etsy. It is important to her to carve out this time for herself.

Her advice at the end is super valuable to hear. You’ll hear it at the end of her podcast when you listen to that too!

Note from Rabiah (Host): I really enjoyed speaking with Molly. It was easy. I can see how she helps people believe in themselves both form a skill and energy space. We chatted a little about the Laws of Attraction and she had a great answer when I asked her what she says to people who don’t believe in it. I really loved that part so listen up for that!

"Patience is really the hard part" with Rock Felder Co-Founder and CFO of Squadcast

2 Recommendations

This week’s guest is Rock Felder, Co-founder and CFO of SquadCast. This is the second interview with a SquadCast founder. Zach Moreno was on the podcast previously so check that out too. Rock grew up in a family that included entrepreneurs. And, when it was time for him to go to college and go to work, he knew he had to be self-sufficient so he chose accounting as a career knowing it was a job that paid well and was always needed. Being a CPA allowed him to work in many industries (agriculture, construction, banking) and laid the foundation for him understanding business from the views of various departments.

Having always wanted to do his own thing and start a business, it was a no-brainer when he was approached by Zach regarding the idea for SquadCast. A wonderful business partnership was born. Anyone who has started a business or is thinking of starting a business will want to hear Rock’s decision to commit to doing that himself as well as how he works with his partner.

Rock is very passionate about his work and helping people solving their problems. In addition to caring about customers, he also cares about those he works with. Trust is a key value of his and we chatted about how that looks at SquadCast. We also chatted about hiring new people onto a team and what happiness at work means.

Rock isn’t all work and no play. For him, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is an activity he enjoys for physical fitness. But it also has the benefit of mentally giving him a chance to escape from the work and personal things for a while. He can just focus on the activity. We talk through what a typical class looks like too!

Note from Rabiah (Host): Firstly, I’m so glad I chose SquadCast as my recording platform when I started the podcast. There is an amazing community of podcasters that they have created with their community manager Arielle Nissenblatt at the helm. This chat with Rock was a lot of fun. I say fun a lot with the podcast but I do have fun and learn a ton. I’m so happy to bring this to listeners as he is so positive but also real and I appreciate people who are both. I also am now intrigued by jiu jitsu though honestly sometimes I feel like walking down the street is enough of a physical challenge! What I hope people get out of this episode is what Rock says about trust at work and happiness at work. But also, anything else they get is great too! Don’t forget to leave a review and share if you know someone who will want to hear this too! +++++ Find Rock Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/rockwellfelder LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rockwell-felder-cpa/ Squadcast: https://squadcast.fm/?ref=rabiahcoon Between Two Mics: https://pod.link/1450592076
